Confused game

Occasionally the game seems to get confused as to who's playing which side, especially after one or both sides resigned from the last game. This can result in both players being told it's 'your turn' and Trolls being able to move first (the game is impossible to keep playing afterwards).

More robust game-state handshaking needs to be implemented to ensure both sides have an identical view of the game, especially after restarts.

Thing is, it'd be hard to get the game statehandling any MORE robust. This isn't a problem with the protocol design so far a I can see, it's more of a problem with the game server getting confused. Which in turn seems impossible.

For the moment, theoretically, the refresh button should refresh both players' view of the board, and set them right about who's go it is.

If that doesn't work, quit the game and resume it.

Apologies for the problems there: this is currently our most serious problem, and I am hoping to have it fixed in the next version.
